THE EXCHANGED LIFE BY ANDREW MURRAY
Andrew Murray's Testimony Christian Magazine on August 15, 1895 Murray was a man of such deep spiritual strength that people wanted to know his secret. How had God worked in his personal life? Although Andrew wrote books explaining how we need to live in Jesus, he refused to tell anyone about his own spiritual life. The famous Scottish preacher Alexander Whyte asked him for this information. Andrew's daughter pleaded. Others asked, too. But Andrew always shook his head "no." Jesus Christ should be exalted, not Andrew Murray. But at a Bible conference so many people urged and pleaded that Andrew finally gave in and wrote a short testimony for The Christian Magazine on August 15, 1895

Amy Carmichael also records the following words that Andrew<br />
Murray wrote during a time of personal pain in his life. This is from<br />
her book Though the Mountains Shake. It is a poignant reminder of<br />
how to trust in God:<br />
"First, He brought me here, it is by His will I am in this strait place:<br />
in that fact I will rest.<br />
Next, He will keep me here in His love, and give me grace in this trial<br />
to behave as His child.<br />
Then, He will make the trial a blessing , teaching me the lessons He<br />
intends me to learn, and working in me the grace He means to<br />
bestow.<br />
Last, in His good time He can bring me out again--how and when He<br />
knows.<br />
Let me say I am here,<br />
(1) By God's appointment,<br />
(2) In His keeping,<br />
(3) Under His training,<br />
(4) For His time.”<br />
Psalm 50:15,<br />
“And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will<br />
deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.”<br />
